CIL was a divison of Dupont, they sold it to IVI, then the powder plant went to GD. Our shop foreman used to work there. May be that the gov't built and "owned" the plant in WW 1 or 2, Not sure when it was built. Dupont ran it, then I believe bought it after WW2. There is another fella on CGN that used to work there as well, Ganderite.
